It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.

OUR TEAM

All technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 900 people globally. Our engineers work in ‘super teams’ which are focused on key areas of our platform as well as other innovative products. This also includes server-side, client-side and mobile engineers working closely with UX experts, copywriters and designers.
Our technology team has grown extremely quickly as a result. With this rapid growth, we are looking for proactive Product Managers to join our team and work with our developers to ensure what they do has the highest impact for our customers.
The lifeblood of an energy system is meter readings. We have clients that ingest upwards of 200 million readings every day. These require a big data system that can run data quality rules and aggregations, and can feed readings to customers, billing, settlement, analytics and other systems. This is a core part of the platform as we aim to provide the same product to clients across the globe and in different markets.
We need someone to own the Meter Data Management product, set out its vision and direction and to ensure our developers are working optimally towards our unified mission. You’ll need to be a self-starter: someone who sees a problem and can’t help but want to fix it. You’ll be well organised, working methodically and clearly to ensure projects go from inception to completion.
